The debut EP 'Varjot kulkevat mukanani' (The Shadows Behind Me) was born out of the need and desire of making and releasing solo music. Three songs that started to live a life of their own with strong stories to tell draw inspiration from today's fresh pop aesthetics as well as singer-songwriter folk tradition. Bright vocals and vivid presence with silvery sounds of kantele give deep weight to the songs that reflect the many sides and shades of life and love with both intense and delicate grasp.
